I didn't mention it in the video, but check my free webinar where I explain nine different florists' revenue sources and evaluate each of them for ease and profitability. www.ellenfrost.com/how-to-make-money

Thanks for your tips❤ so helpful!!!

Thanks for the info on local flower sources. Sourcing has been one of my biggest challenges in the SW Florida area. When in the Bay Area, I used the San Francisco Flower Market and honestly was never left without options. Choosing flowers live and in person was a very gratifying part of designing flower arrangements and this Market provided an exceptional experience and I always felt a rush when there. I've used Mayesh in SF and online and love the varieties of flowers and colors, they are exceptional. The prices are high and sometimes the quality of online purchases doesn't match the expectation but in a pinch they can provide almost everything needed.

I'm glad you found this helpful! I love the San Francisco Flower Market. I used to live in San Francisco. Such a fun place! If you're interested in learning more about local sourcing, I offer a class called Growing Your Business with Local Flower Sourcing. It's a great resource for florists that want to source locally. thegardenersworkshop.com/product/review-florist-school-online-growing-your-business-with-local-flower-sourcing-with-ellen-frost/

Loved your video Ellen. I'm ready for step #4 (volunteering/freelancing...). Is it as simple as contacting floral designers in my area, introducing myself and my skill-set, and asking if they have a need for freelance work?

This is such a great question! I would definitely start setting up meetings to meet florists in your area. Be sure to reach out to home based, studio and brick and mortar florists. It's helpful to start to build a portfolio of your work to be able to share with florists you approach. This could just be an Instagram page. Do you have a IG for your flowers currently?

Great..i hope to start.thank you so much
